Click a button, tick some boxes, done.

“Foolish and short-sighted” seems to be a popular business model. Or I’m becoming curmudgeonly. Thank you, Google, for stealing my idealism and hope for humanity. (Not really.)

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I use Chrome, but don’t really want to have to use an add-in to disable a Gmail “feature”. It does seem like a prima facie case of a company feeling that it can totally ignore the collective wishes of its customers. I guess they feel that we are a captive audience. Very foolish and short-sighted of Google IMO.

All hate it and want it gone. So it seems Google is not interested even though there’s not one comment supporting the feature. So what is it for? It doesn’t even work remotely well, so it can’t be for kudos.
A few posts say if you’re using Google Chrome as your browser, you can turn off this and other features with Florian Besier’s add-on GMELIUS. I use Firefox and I don’t want to switch to Google’s browser so I’m not trying this solution but some people here might be able to.
See Help forum > Gmail > Composing and Sending Messages > How to switch off the ‘Consider including…’ feature???

I was rather hoping that it would disappear in the latest Gmail upgrade – it appears not, but maybe there is an option as I haven’t trailed through all the features as yet.
